My Life

Remy and Ziva

 Happy Tuesday!  Today, I would like to share my family with you.  Hebrews can wait.  I am thankful for my family. 

 When Dean and I got married and we were in YWAM and really had no idea what life would bring, we just wanted to serve God and change the world.  

 We didn't have much of a plan and for awhile life tossed us around and we held on.  We finally figured out that we could say no and have boundaries.  Ever notice that until you stick up for yourself, people do what's best for them and not you?       

       

Dean and I taught our kids that God calls the family and we were a team.  They have been involved in everything.  As a famiy we have been through and seen a lot.  We know that no matter what is happening or where we are, if we are together we can walk through anything.

There have been times in life when I have screamed to God with tears running down my face "What are You thinking?!?!?"  I have seen God provide for my family in miracleous ways.  I have wanted nothing to do with Christians or the church.  I have seen God touch lives as I have been faithful to follow Him and His commands.  


My prayer for us as a family is that we will be all that God needs us to be where we are.  We will see His provison and faithfulness in every area of our lives and we will see the dreams and desires of our hearts come true.  

 My kids have driven me crazy, made me laugh and cry and I feel complete when they are all here.  I hate when one is missing.  The dogs feel the same way and keep watch at the door.  I look forward to them be successful in their lives, but how will I handle them not being here everyday and knowing what's going on.  I'm far to nosey not to know everything.  ;) 


David Wilkerson said: "We are expected to attempt something large enough that failure is certain, unless God steps in."  I think creating a family, serving God faithfully and enjoying the ride together without God is that something.  Never mind throwing in the curve balls, dreams, heartbreaks, sickeness....

We are in desperate need of God today!


I pray that no matter what your family looks like, you have people surrounding you that drive you crazy, support you, love you, make you laugh and cry.  


May the Living, Loving God hold you today in your need and show Himself faithful in a special way today!!


Have a fab day!
All my love ~
